Black Women Who Were “Too Dark” To Enter London Club Protest Discriminatory Practices

As promised, the women turned away from a London club for being “too dark” and “too fat,” took to the streets with supporters Tuesday night to protest the alleged racial discrimination.

The women — Lin Mei, Zalika Miller, Reisha and Tasha Campbell — arrived outside of DSTRKT nightclub Tuesday night for a peaceful protest to blast the popular clubfor denying entry to two members of the group based on their skin tone and body type, BBC Newsbeatreports. Their story went viral after Mei and Miller shared the experience on social media.

Mei, who is biracial, was allowed into the club Saturday evening. Her friends Tasha and Reisha were not. Calling the behavior unacceptable, the ladies sought to bring awareness to the venue’s discriminatory practices.

The women also asked Karrueche Tran, model and ex-girlfriend of Chris Brown, to cancel her appearance at the nightclub that evening. The personality did not postpone her appearance, but did call the incident unfortunate.
